Re : External Review on Sexual Assault and Misconduct in the Canadian Armed Forces

Sir,

As you know, I have been appointed as External Review Authority in relation to matters related to Sexual Assault and Misconduct in the Canadian Armed Forces. In the process of collecting facts bearing on matters covered by the Review, it has been brought to my attention that the Ombudsman is considered as one of the resources available to the victims who look for redress.

While my mandate does not bring me to review your work, I would appreciate to have another occasion to hear from you with respect to these matters.

At this time, if you do not wish to participate, you will be the only resource from which I will not have heard. I would be open to a telephone conversation or a meeting in person at a time convenient to both of us. For the sake of clarity, consistency and fairness to all, I have to remind you that all my interviews are recorded.

I can be reached by e-mail at forces@review-examen.com.
 

Marie Deschamps
